- the FeTiAlO 5 grains 10 thus exist in the grain boundary of the alumina grains 12 , and therefore, even though the crack formed by impact application grows further, the crack could be deviated so as to go by a roundabout route in the direction of the arrow X from the starting point of the grain 10 , and consequently, the impact force is not in one direction but diffuses and is thereby relaxed.

Falling within the range of from 3.4 to 7.0 ⁇ m, the grains could be more effective for preventing the growth of the cracks formed by fracture. This is because, when the mean grain size falls within the range, the effect of the FeTiAlO 5 grains for deviating the running route of cracks can be secured well.
- the alumina sintered compact obtained according to the production method of the present invention contains a silicon compound and/or a calcium compound that are other metal compounds than TiO 2 , Fe 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 , in order that the sintered compact could have higher fracture toughness.

- the silicon compound and the calcium compound act as a grain growing agent, and it is considered that the presence of at most 2% by mass, as their oxides, of these compounds would unhomogenize the shape and the size of the alumina corundum grains therefore causing deviation of cracks.
- the respective effects could be combined therefore efficiently providing deviation of cracks and attaining the effect of further increasing the fracture toughness.
- the alumina content, the TiO 2 -equivalent content, the Fe 2 O 3 -equivalent content, the SiO 2 -equivalent content, the CaO-equivalent content and the metal oxide-equivalent content of other metal compounds are determined according to a fluorescent X-ray elementary analysis method. Concretely, they are determined as follows.

With the thus-found, wet analysis data taken as the standard values, calibration curves necessary for measurement are formed.
